Blood Pact and Mounting

Honedcruelty · May 22, 2007, 08:40 PM

I do like the new system where when you mount your minion disappears then comes back on dismount (since I have lost a few minions to trees, sharp corners, and such). The one issue is when you have your imp out and you mount you lose your blood pact, which is a significant amount of stamina that has to be regenerated every time you dismount. Anyone else have issues with this?

When you loose the pet (mounting) - you loose what the pet provides. The Imp can't provide the bloodpact if it's not summoned.

Not true since Fire Shield still stays on...

Ah yet, that buff has a 3min duration after which it needs to be re-applied.

Ah never mind that, fire shield must have been casted when I was dismounted... Even more issues about the dismissal then...

agreed fire shield is a duration buff while blood pact is an aura buff.

Ok ok I get it... my bad lol. I forgot it was a duration.

Doesn't quite seem fair that you lose the benefits of the pet while riding. When I mount up(previously) and get ganked while riding, blood pact provides me with that extra cushion that you need to dismount and defend yourself. Seems like our class is still penalized for mounting.

I think blizzard has to do something to fix this for warlocks...not sure what that would be but blood pact is the big argument for this.

It makes no sense the way it works with the imp out. Theres no reason I should have to regen 700-1k health every damn time I dismount.

The other pets arent an issue IMO. I can live without my felhunters stealth buff while mounted but no excuse for bloodpact!

I agree. Losing blood pact when mounting is a severe nerf to warlocks. Probably not what Blizzard intended, but would mean a re-work of the aura. Hope they fix it soon.
